Top 10 Best-Selling Smartphones Globally in Q3 2024

According to Counterpoint Research's Global Handset Model Sales Tracker, the iPhone 15 was the best-selling smartphone in the world in Q3 2024. It was closely followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro which took the second and third spots in the list, respectively. In total, Apple managed to grab four spots, with the iPhone 14 also joining the lineup in the seventh place.

Growing Demand for High-End Smartphones

The research note suggests growing user preference for high-end smartphones is helping Apple bridge the sales gap between its standard and Pro models. It is the first time in a third quarter that the Pro variants contributed to half of the total iPhone sales in Q3, helping Apple achieve higher-value device sales.

Samsung’s Competitive Edge

On the other hand, Samsung was the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with the most smartphones in the list; five. Four of these devices belonged to the budget A-series. However, the Samsung Galaxy S24 managed to grab the tenth place, becoming the first Galaxy S-series device to enter the top 10 rankings since 2018.

Future Trends

Both Apple and Samsung are expected to maintain their positions at the top thanks to the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) on their smartphones. iPhone models get AI features with Apple Intelligence, while Samsung handsets are powered by Galaxy AI.

Other Notable Manufacturers

The Redmi 13C 4G, a budget device, finished ninth in the rankings. Xiaomi was the only other manufacturer which managed to achieve high sales numbers apart from Apple and Samsung in Q3 2024.
